In a ceremony at the Farmers Home Administration, at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 7, Arthur Muenks turned over a check for $275,000 to the Public Water District No. 1. The long term loan will enable the water district serving the Krakow area between Washington and Union to proceed with construction. The bids have already been open ed and the contracts signed by the contractors. The F.H.A. will have to approve the contractors but this is formality because they have already given verbal approval. The trustees of the water district will also have to sign Jhe contracts. . The low bidders on the work, according to Mr. Muenks, are Washington Plumbing and Heating Co. which will lay 20 miles of pipe, Pittsburgh-Des Moines (steel contractor on the St. Leuis arch) which will build two elevated water towers, and Clark and Clark Drilling Co. which will drill two wells. - . The cost of these three contracts totals $243,510. The loan from the F.H.A. exceeds the amount of the contracts because there were also preliminary engineering studies that had to.be done before the specifications for the bids could bo drawn up. . , . , Revenue from the water users should be enough to pay operating expenses and gradually repay the F.H.A. loan. .

Mrs. Melvin Goers, director, is at right. The Wildcats lost their first con ference game at Sullivan 60-45 against a determined team. Their previously perfect 3-0 record was marred Friday, Dec. 3 at Sullivan. Playing a good game, . Sullivan got ahead and stayed ahead. Union moved up to within five points of their opponents, but that was as dose as they got and that was the way the game ended. Union was shooting but it was ust not getting the ball in. On free throws the Wildcats got 47 per cent and Sullivan got 70 per cent The relationship between the two teams was about the same for shots made in regular play, although no re cord was kept of the exact per centage.

For Union Dave Loyd got 17 points and Keith Beirman had 9. The ailing Bill Brldgemann got 2, after getting 29 in the previous game. Mike Haberberger was strong on defense and kept the Wildcats from suffering a bigger defeat than they had. The quarter by quarter scores, with Sullivan ahead at all times, were: 13-18, 21-28, 35-46 and finally, 45-50. Sullivan was prepared for the game, they played well and mighty Casey struck out. . Last Tuesday night, November 29, the Wildcats were neck and neck with Pacific up until the final quarter. Then Union pulled ahead to win 71-61. When they began to pull ahead in the final quarter, they did not stall as they have in past games. This worked well because they increased the lead as time went on. Their usual fourth quarter suicide impulse was missing fortunately for coach Sims' blood pressure. Dave Loyd showed himself a good ball handler and several times intercepted the ball and took it away from his opponents. He continued his consistant high scoring with 22 points. The tall Bill Brldgemann continued his job of getting, rebounds off the back board. At times he would shoot, catch his own rebound and shoot again. The team book shows Bill with 29 points although It does not seem as though he made that many. This is no reflection on Bill who is usually standing under the basket with three oppeSenets around him. He pulls players away from bis teammates even when he cannot shoot himself. - Union started out leading in the first quarter and the score at the end of that quarter was 18-13 la favor of Union. i Never a team to get ahead and stay ahead. Union lost the lead in the early minutes at the second quarter. The game then sessawed back and forth with the .Wildcats ahead and then the Indians ahead. At the half the scori yfas tied 34-34. At the end of three.' quarters. Pacific was ahead 5049. With a better final quarter, the. Wildcats won 71-61. ..

The low bidders on the work, according to Mr. Muenks, are Washington Plumbing and Heating Co. which will lay 20 miles of pipe, Pittsburgh-Des Moines (steel contractor on the St. Leuis arch) which will build two elevated water towers, and Clark and Clark Drilling Co. which will drill two wells. - . The cost of these three contracts totals $243,510. The loan from the F.H.A. exceeds the amount of the contracts because there were also preliminary engineering studies that had to.be done before the specifications for the bids could bo drawn up. . , . , Revenue from the water users should be enough to pay operating expenses and gradually repay the F.H.A. loan. .

Mrs. Melvin Goers, director, is at right. The Wildcats lost their first con ference game at Sullivan 60-45 against a determined team. Their previously perfect 3-0 record was marred Friday, Dec. 3 at Sullivan. Playing a good game, . Sullivan got ahead and stayed ahead. Union moved up to within five points of their opponents, but that was as dose as they got and that was the way the game ended. Union was shooting but it was ust not getting the ball in. On free throws the Wildcats got 47 per cent and Sullivan got 70 per cent The relationship between the two teams was about the same for shots made in regular play, although no re cord was kept of the exact per centage.

For Union Dave Loyd got 17 points and Keith Beirman had 9. The ailing Bill Brldgemann got 2, after getting 29 in the previous game. Mike Haberberger was strong on defense and kept the Wildcats from suffering a bigger defeat than they had. The quarter by quarter scores, with Sullivan ahead at all times, were: 13-18, 21-28, 35-46 and finally, 45-50. Sullivan was prepared for the game, they played well and mighty Casey struck out. . Last Tuesday night, November 29, the Wildcats were neck and neck with Pacific up until the final quarter. Then Union pulled ahead to win 71-61. When they began to pull ahead in the final quarter, they did not stall as they have in past games. This worked well because they increased the lead as time went on. Their usual fourth quarter suicide impulse was missing fortunately for coach Sims' blood pressure. Dave Loyd showed himself a good ball handler and several times intercepted the ball and took it away from his opponents. He continued his consistant high scoring with 22 points. The tall Bill Brldgemann continued his job of getting, rebounds off the back board. At times he would shoot, catch his own rebound and shoot again. The team book shows Bill with 29 points although It does not seem as though he made that many. This is no reflection on Bill who is usually standing under the basket with three oppeSenets around him. He pulls players away from bis teammates even when he cannot shoot himself. - Union started out leading in the first quarter and the score at the end of that quarter was 18-13 la favor of Union. i Never a team to get ahead and stay ahead. Union lost the lead in the early minutes at the second quarter. The game then sessawed back and forth with the .Wildcats ahead and then the Indians ahead. At the half the scori yfas tied 34-34. At the end of three.' quarters. Pacific was ahead 5049. With a better final quarter, the. Wildcats won 71-61. ..
